The worm turns.
Anyone remember the author, Tony Hillerman, and his Jim Chee mysteries set on the Navajo reservation? In 1991 Robert Redford made a movie out of one of the books, The Dark Wind.. It starred Lou Diamond Phillips (who is not Native American except for a trace of Cherokee on his father's side) as Jim Chee. There was so much negative publicity about casting a non-Native American in the primary role that the film was never released, even though it was completed.
But suddenly it's not only okay but de riguer to cast Hispanics as old, white British colonists, black women as a womanizing as Scottish sectret agent, yada, yada. Next up: a transgender "female" bodybuilder as Wonder Woman. And it will use them/their as its pronouns.
